Thank you for your reply, I did not check yet all your links, I am just 
answering quick questions:

1) I just tried Iscan and it's the only one working so far. The ones you 
mention, I did not use them before so I don't know them but I will look into 
it and get back with a more complete answer.
2) AMD 3000+ 32 bit. You are right in assuming 32bit ;)
3) I know about Iscan-free and I did not use that. I installed Iscan 
proprietary version or whatever it's called...

Yast requested that I install the non-free version before it could install/ 
activate the scanner. As opposed to SUSE 10.0 (which I tried but never used) 
10.1 behave normally. It actually activated the scanner and the setup went 
without a glitch. In 10.0 it was installing the driver but was not matching 
it with the scanner... a long and screwed-up story that you don't need to 
hear...

Machts Gut!
